1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024
The difference between a Morris chair and a Stickley chair comes down to origins and characteristics.

During the late 1860s, the company began producing the Morris chair, which has a reclining seat back and an intricately carved wood frame. This design spread to the U.S., where it was seen by Gustav Stickley. Drawing inspiration from it, Stickley produced the Stickley chair in 1904.
